THE FINAL COUNTDOWN!

It has been a LONG time since we posted on this blog! Too long! But we've been so busy with our wedding preparations, keeping our heads screwed on right, breathing, and trying to find a moment in between with one another!

So much has happened! So much is happening! We're almost there! Only 12 more days until the wedding! I feel like my heart and my head will burst into a million pieces!!

86 days and counting!!

My beautiful peony 

Hello everyone!

The ninety days until our wedding mark has come and gone! We were so excited we didn't even blog about it.

SO many exciting, fun things have been happening!!!

We have gotten almost ALL of the vendors contracted. There's one last thing we're working on getting a contract for. SO it's way down to the wire but we've gotten tons done and we're almost at the finish line.

We've ordered and received our invitations! They're absolutely fabulous! We're working on packaging and addressing them which may take a while. Expect them the end of June or the very very beginning of July.

I've dropped my dress off for alterations, picked my hair and makeup person, ordered my jewelry, and am continuing my search of old or borrowed things. My entire look the day of is pulling together!

Adam's suit has been in the making for awhile now. Hopefully it'll be done soon!

Now we're just pounding out arts and crafts / DIY decorations! It's a lot of work and we don't have as much time but we can't wait!

I'll try to blog more about all the different and fun things we've got going on!

Registered!

Registering for our wedding sounded like a lot of fun, so we were really looking forward to it. Little did we know, it would be SO tiring!!

After considering several options such as internet registries, honeymoon registries, and various stores, we decided to go with Macy's. We figured they would have almost everything we need/want and would be accessible to everyone. We're planning on moving after the wedding so we decided to register for all new household items. (Most of the appliances we've inherited from our parents are practically breaking down, broken, or missing items). We also tried to make sure to pick items that we'd be 100% sure to use in various price brackets. Although, when you register with Macy's, after the wedding, whatever isn't purchased we can purchase on our own with a discount! So we threw in a couple of really expensive things we've always wanted so we can buy it for ourselves after the wedding, such as a stand mixer and a fancy set of china.

Even though it took all day and was exhausting, we still had a lot of fun at Macy's. We got to walk around for hours with the scanner, picturing our new home and new married life. It was pretty exciting and made the future seem very real and very near. We can't wait and I get giddy just thinking about it.

ALSO!! 116 days left until the wedding!!!!!!!!

Mamas!

Adam & I are incredibly lucky that we now have not just one super hot mama but two super hot awesome mamas!

They're funny, hip, supportive, and super cool.

Last week or so The Moms and I went out for a little shopping day! We had lunch (complete with skinny models walking around showing off clothes, brioche, and strawberry butter) at neiman marcus and then wandered around Union Square for awhile.

I don't know about everyone else but I had a blast. It was much easier than bridesmaid shopping, that's for sure. So, there's plenty of time for them to find "MoB" and "MoG" gowns/dresses so no purchases were yet made. But, they got a good idea of what they want and we had lots of fun hanging out together.

As for our plans today? Today we plan to honor and celebrate our moms! We're cooking, baking, flowering, and showering with love and attention!

Don't they look good?!

So Happy Mother's Day to all of our friends, grandmothers, and aunts that read this! Hope you have a great day filled with as much fun and love as you've given to your kids!

Wedding Planning Update

We both officially have our bands in! It's all really happening! It takes all of our will power to not just start wearing them now. Adam hid his in his closet to take away the temptation of wearing it every day. Mine is cozily sitting in my jewelry box, awaiting the magical day. I'll try to make a blog entry about the rings specifically.

Tomorrow we're heading down to the central coast, yet again. We have a couple cake tasting appointments! Everyone always says wedding cake tastes bad anyways, so hopefully we'll find something good for everyone to enjoy.

I also have my hair and makeup trial! I have no idea how I want either of those, so hopefully with the artist we can figure something out. I'm mostly just excited about getting the chance to wear my veil. It's been waiting so patiently for me and I find myself thinking of it quite often.

While we're down in the area and my hair and makeup all done, Adam and I are gonna go on a little date night. We have date night pretty much every weekend, but it's still fun and special.

Last weekend we spent the day in Bodega Bay! Maybe I'll post pictures of our little excursion.

Hey! Less than a handful of months to go!!!! We have SO many more decorations to make!!

Have you made your reservation yet? Have you checked out our website?

'Ring it in!

Adam's wedding band came in last week and mine will ship this upcoming tuesday!!

I'm SOOOOO excited!!!!!!!!

Our list of "Wedding things to do" is getting shorter and shorter!!!

Have you all checked out our wedding website already?

We just put up new hotel info! Be sure to make your hotel reservations early!!

To splurge or not to splurge, that is the question.

Luxury wedding invitations - worthwhile or not?

On one hand, Adam and I will probably be the only ones to notice/appreciate/care. So it isn't REALLY worth it.

On the other hand, if WE (the official wedding couple) are going to notice/appreciate/care, isn't that enough? If we'll love it, isn't it worth it?

Decisions, decisions...
